Strengthening the human-animal bond to improve health for all
Sarah Endersby from Ceva Animal Health explains how bonding with your pet can improve not just their health, but your own. The human-animal bond is one of the strongest emotional connections humans can have with other living things. Animals and humans have a two-way relationship, a deep connection that improves the lives of both parties. […]
Why hasn’t Europe become a renewable energy powerhouse yet?
Luke Heywood, Head of Climate and Energy at EUSEW’s partner organization the European Environment Agency (EEB), talks about the factors holding back Europe from becoming a renewable energy powerhouse. For a long time, the transition to renewable energy has been seen as a beneficial but difficult task, good for the climate but not necessarily good […]
Global muon detector network advances space weather monitoring
The global cosmic-ray muon detector network connects many synchronized, low-cost muon sensors around the world to track real-time changes in cosmic radiation. Muons are produced when primary cosmic rays hit the Earth’s atmosphere. They act as “invisible messengers”, conveying information about changes in the particle environment above us. Solar storms can temporarily lower muon numbers […]
ESA funding call to strengthen local transport networks
A new program from the European Space Agency (ESA) will provide up to €75,000 per study to support satellite-based solutions for Europe’s transport systems. ESA’s new funding call aims to improve rural transport networks across Europe and partner countries, calling on companies to develop space-enabled services that address long-standing mobility challenges in remote areas. The […]
Researchers challenge misleading statements about plastic waste solutions
Solutions to the plastic waste crisis are often proposed using language that can distort value judgments, according to a new study. The research, led by the University of Manchester’s Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub, investigates the impact of terminology choices in end-of-life solutions for plastic waste. Recycling has long been touted as a solution to plastic […]
UK subsidy expected to cover almost half of EV charger installation costs
Apartment owners, landlords, renters and businesses will be able to receive up to £500 in grants for each EV charger under the UK Government’s increased subsidies. The price increase will cover almost half the cost of installing a typical EV charger until March 2027, allowing thousands more drivers to take advantage of cheaper national electricity […]
Britain’s food system faces pressure as industry calls for a ‘fair food bill’
A coalition of businesses, NGOs and health organizations is calling on the UK government to strengthen food security amid rising prices and environmental risks. The UK’s food system is under increasing strain, with experts warning that ongoing ecological decline could threaten both national food security and affordability. Analysts are calling for legislative intervention across sectors, […]
CERN cools high-brightness LHC magnet system in major upgrade milestone
The cryogenic test marks a significant step toward a 10-fold increase in collision data at the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. CERN has crossed a key technological threshold in its long-running effort to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Engineers began cooling the 95-meter-long test facility to just 1.9 Kelvin, recreating the extreme conditions in […]
New molecular cage technology solves short-chain PFAS removal
The new adsorption method shows strong PFAS capture performance, including difficult-to-remove short-chain compounds. Contamination with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, continues to pose complex challenges to water authorities and environmental regulators around the world. These synthetic chemicals are used in industrial processes, firefighting foams, and a wide range of consumer products, persist […]
How Canada can lead in global energy storage
Energy Storage Canada outlines Canada’s potential to lead in the energy storage sector and emphasizes the need for stable trade policies and innovative industrial strategies to secure this future. Canada has already emerged as a global leader in energy storage deployment. Whether the country turns its nascent leadership into lasting advantage will depend less on […]
